Mercedes Horgos

I am an artist based in Budapest, Hungary. I have been painting since 2025, and from the very beginning my work has been driven by one thing: emotion. I paint intuitively, without sketches or plans, letting feeling guide every gesture.

I am inspired by the Fauves, who used pure, unmixed colour as a direct expression of feeling rather than a description of reality. Like them, I let colour lead. My paintings are built from bold colour, spontaneous brushstrokes and dripping paint, and through acrylic on canvas I try to turn what I feel into something visible, so that the viewer can sense it too.
